i had a pony

Hello Perele. This is your Grandma Rose. I wanted to ask you if you asked the bus driver why he was so late today. Ok Goodbye."

"Message skipped. Second Message Sent Today at 9:21 P.M.:

Perele, this is your Grandma Rose again. Listen, I just went to the frigidaire and I see that the milk is unopened, which means that you didn't eat any breakfast. You know I went to the store on Thursday and they were out of the 2 percent and skim milk so I bought whole milk and I even made sure that it would be good until the twenty-third. Now I see that you didn't eat any of it. And I bought the Frosty Flakes for you. What's the matter? You didn't know there is milk in this house? What did you eat for breakfast?

Ok goodbye."

and i'd have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for those meddling kids...

You can't win with Grandma Rose. If you *don't* leave crumbs, she knows that you didn't have breakfast, but if you *do,* well, as your father has said, your grandmother, being Polish, can see a speck of dust that would be invisible to mere American mortals like us. :)
